Lavara: A heroic village in Evros!

Εικόνα
Λάβαρα : Ένα ηρωικό χωριό στον Έβρο! Lavara is a village / town (κωμόπολη) of Evros, on the national road that connects Soufli with Didymoteicho. The village took its name from Lavaro (blue with a black cross in the middle) that 300 men raised on May 2, 1821, the day of the Removal of the Relics of Saint Athanasios, trapping the numerous Turkish army in the KOURI forest and after attacking them at night they dispersed them . For two days the panicked Turks tried to get out of the forest and those who escaped went to the mountain village of Mavrokklisi. In 1834 the residents built the church of Agios Athanasios and in 1920 the renaming committee named the village Lavara in memory of the heroic battle. In the past it was called Salia from the flat boats that crossed the Evros. Another version is that it comes from Sal = free because the inhabitants did not pay taxes to the Turks but only had the obligation to take care of and train the horses of the Sultans' guard. Lavara (formerly S...

General conscription decree of Philip V, 197 BC.

Εικόνα
ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ A very important inscription exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki takes us to the beginning of the 2nd century. e.g. The inscription vividly gives us the image of the dramatic days of the war of the Macedonian forces to face the Roman danger in its final phase. It dates back to 197 BC. and is one of the copies of the general decree for the conscription of the male population issued by King Philip V for the entire Macedonian territory. This is the largest royal diagram from the kingdom of Macedonia. The text gives instructions for general conscription by town by enlisting the males of each household according to the census lists. The inscription reveals the criticality of the situation and Philip V's anxiety over the great lack of Macedonian recruits due to the long wars waged by the kingdom. This can be seen from the fact that the king enlists not only veterans over 50 but also minors as young as 15. An extremely interesting element is the information tha...

The real cause of the war in Ukraine, the Middle East and the propaganda

Εικόνα
ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ In our quest for information on some basic issues from around the world, we encountered something we all more or less knew, propaganda everywhere, from all sides on all issues, even the smallest ones. We tried to present some issues without the propaganda and we saw that all the social media are aligned on the same line on the propaganda. The American ones completely silenced us, for example in our posts from where they had thousands of likes we saw within a day a huge change and reduction almost to zero. Anything that is not in line with the propaganda is deleted, just as this article will be deleted when we upload it, for example, to Facebook. Let's get to the point of the article. What is the reason for all this propaganda? Why do we find the same issues in a strong degree in American-controlled interests (eg, Navalny)? Why do western interests do the same? real cause of the war in Ukraine, the Middle East? Here we should mention that when we say American, Russian, etc....

Attic red-figure pelike, ca 480 BC, Rome, National Etruscan Museum of the Villa Giulia

Εικόνα
ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ Attic red-figure pelike, ca 480 BC, Rome, National Etruscan Museum of the Villa Giulia. How is old age (Geras) represented?  As a bald, emaciated, hunchback man with goatee beard, propping himself up on a wobbly staff. The scene depicts Hercules’ encounter with Geras, in the course of the former’s travels. The robust and handsome torso of the hero, who leans on a long club, functions as counterweight to the inevitable decrepitude that afflicts the body of mortals. © Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia.

Head of a statue of Alexander the Great, 2-3 cent. BC

Εικόνα
ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ © Μουσείο Ακρόπολης Head of a statue of Alexander the Great Location Archaiological Museum of Acropolis, Athens, Greece Artist Leochares Classical Period Date After 338 BC Dimensions Height: 0.35 m Length: 0.23 m Width: 0.245 m Material Marble from Penteli Description It was found in 1886 near the Erechtheion on the Acropolis. Alexander the Great is portrayed at a young age, as he would have been during his sole visit to Athens, after the battle of Chaironeia in 338 BC. The deep set eyes, the upward glance, the half-open lips as well as the characteristic hairstyle, with rich curls standing up over the forehead, the anastoli, are all typical features of Alexander. Red paint surviving in some areas of the hair was most probably the base-coat for the curls's final, golden hue; whereas the way the locks are formed at the back of the head suggests that the head was adorned either by a wreath or a band rendered in some other material that has not survived. The statue is conside...
